Trump's third-country deportation push hits a legal roadblock
WASHINGTON: The Trump administration’s effort to fast-track deportations to third countries hit a legal setback after a US appeals court refused to pause a lower court order blocking the policy.
The US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in Boston on Wednesday (local time) denied the government’s emergency request to lift a preliminary injunction that restricts deportations of certain migrants to countries other than their own.
“The emergency motion for a stay of the April 18 preliminary injunction pending appeal and for an immediate administrative stay is denied, the government not having met the standard for the relief sought,” the court said.
The three-judge panel said the administration had failed to satisfy the legal test required to secure a stay while the case proceeds on appeal.
